#droughtula

Camera person asking Where Is Our Good Friend Jonathan Harker and here's the response

Silly little animatic that needed out of my head during droughtula before it disappeared forever

Yes, most Dracula characters already have jobs that still exist in the modern day: solicitor, doctor, teacher etc. But being in the modern day would have them make different choices so... what would they do instead?

Mina Harker: I don't really get the sense that Mina actually enjoys being a teacher; it's just a job that's available to her as an educated woman in the 1890s. What Mina does like: planning, order, timetables, schedules. Mina would be the best project manager you've ever met.

Jack Seward: Jack should not have a people-focused job, and he should be working with vulnerable people least of all. He's great at observation, and he loves to make a difference and be told that he's a good clever boy. Oh, and he's a big fan of up-to-the-minute technology too. We only need to change his career trajectory slightly, and he would be a very happy research scientist.

Arthur Holmwood: Not many British noblemen are able to live lives of idle luxury any more, so even if his family still owned the Ring estate, he would need to do something more to keep it going. Arthur likes people, travel, music, sport and the good life. So I think, like many modern-day noblemen, he would use the estate itself to generate income: hosting weddings, concerts, conferences and team-building days.

Lucy Westenra: Honestly I think Lucy would love the idea of working with Arthur on the estate. She'd hardly be getting married at 19 in 2023, but she might be getting a BA in Hotel and Hospitality Management with that future in mind.

Quincey Morris: What job does an adventurer/cowboy do in the 21st century? I can't imagine Quincey spending his days sitting at a desk. It needs to be something intense and physical, but also representative of a moment in time that isn't going to last. Quincey works on an oil rig.

Jonathan Harker: Tricky, because Jonathan is so defined by being a solicitor. But a modern-day Jonathan would have far more options for progressing in his career. He has a way with words and a kind and generous nature. I think he'd be an excellent charity grant writer.

In Order of Most-to-Least Affected

(just a shitpost I thought up in the shower. this is in the case of a crossover between Dracula and TPoDG)

Arthur Holmwood: "He seemed to be a nice lad, all things considered. It's a shame that..." *deep breath* "...that Lord Wotton got to him."

Lucy Westenra: "If one is unconvinced that 'looks can be deceiving', they need only meet Mr. Gray. It's really sad, when you think about it. It seems his looks are all he has."

John Seward: "He's hardly worth examining. I mean, self-destructive acts of immaturity and narcissism? That's just a natural stage of human development. After all, he's what? Fifteen? ...he's in his twenties. Hm."

Quincey P. Morris: "Something ain't right with that boy. I'm not convinced of Art's corruption theory. I think he's just always been like that."

The Harkers: *politely smiling* "No comment."

Abraham van Helsing: *a long disjointed monologue that boils down to "I have a reason to believe he may be a vampire"*

Bonus:

R.M. Renfield: "If I answer your questions about this Dorian Gray, will you grant me a cat?"

John Seward: "No."
